It's been said he was born on Mars...
That he has walked with dinosaurs in a prior life...
That he has heard voices telling him that he will be singing "96 Tears" in the year 10,000...
Geez. Don't wanna wait till then? Neither did we. Check out
Question Mark perform his pioneering garage rock anthem
"96 Tears" at the 2009 Detroit All Star Revue with our very own
Don Was on bass.
There's no
question about it. Question Mark can rock.

Don Was,
Detroit All Star Revue,
Concert of Colors on 11/20/2009 6:54:38 AM by Dan Grgas
Let the colors of the Wasmopolitan Cavalcade fly over Detroit!
Every Tuesday for the next 12 weeks Don Was and My Damn Channel will present "The Detroit All Star Revue," performances filmed at the 2009 Concert of Colors, metro Detroit's annual diversity festival and celebration of music.
We kicked it off with The Layabout's
"Monkey See, Monkey Do" and will continue next week and right on into the new year with perfromances from the Donfather and legendary Detroit artists:
Sir Mack Rice
? of ? & the Mysterians
Mick Bassett & the Marthas
The Upscale
Blanche
Scott Morgan & Powertrain
The Go
Gorvette
Thornetta Davis
Teagarden & Van Winkle
Next week Sir Mack Rice performs "
Mustang Sally," his rock 'n' roll classic.
It's been a week since we relaunched My Damn Channel. We're 90-95% of where we need to be with the new redesign. We're attacking that last 5-10% with the help of loyal co-cons writing and attacking us with ideas to fix last fixes. We're also gathering your hit lists for additional ideas to make your house and this new Enterprise more 'be all.'
The new Star Trek entered our brains the same night as our relaunch.
The amount of online communication bout our fave TV franchise is staggering.
Full disclosure - before we continue - somewhere here - in a box - there are 79 memorex audio cassettes - the ones with the 2 little white things in 'em - holding the recordings of every single original episode of the series - taped by a little fat white kid - off the speaker on the tiny TV in our kitchen back in Fort Lee, NJ. When you listen closely - you can hear Mom YELLING: "DINNER!" And you can hear me YELLING back: "SHUT UP! I'M TAPING "STAR TREK!!!'"
If you published any form of digital media in the past week, you're likely part of a mass collective of humans who are 'one' with the 43 year-old phenom of Star Trek.
Here then - a list - to ask ourselves WHY:
Star Trek Assumptions:
1. We need to believe in heroes and in the possibility that we are capable of heroic acts.
2. The future needs an organizing principle to deliver answers we seek.
3. We long for the past while embracing the future.
4. Obama reminds us of Spock.
5. Kirk represents the ideal leader (or father figure, brother, husband, best friend, lawyer, coach, boss, starship captain.)
6. We want to have sex with a green-skinned goddess.
7. We like to see things explode.
8. We like to sit in dark rooms and fantasize with an about others.
9. J.J.
10. Nerd is the new black.
Found this amazing video yesterday of William Shatner being made to watch the new movie trailer. Watch his face: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDEJXdEcV7U
We're presenting all new music produced by the head of heart of Don Was.
Don is featuring live music every Monday - every week - for 13 weeks - right into December.
The Detroit All Star Revue was filmed exclusively by My Damn Channel at the "Concert of Colors" this summer.
First up: Legendary Motor City soul singer, Mitch Ryder!
The Wasmopolitan Cavalcade of Recorded Music is always open for your ears & eyes - over 50 original songs/videos are there for you & yers: here.
